JGA36150 - 150 Amp Circuit Breaker

JGA36150 - 150 Amp Circuit Breaker

Powerful, dependable protection for your electrical distribution infrastructure. The PowerPacT JGA36150 from Schneider Electric offers 150 amps of current-handling capacity in a 3-pole configuration, making it an excellent choice for commercial and industrial applications where system stability and safety matter. Engineered with thermal-magnetic sensing, this breaker detects both overloads and short-circuit events, reacting quickly to safeguard equipment and wiring. With a rated breaking capacity of 18 kA at 600 VAC, the JGA36150 is built to meet demanding conditions and high fault levels. Its I-Line compatible design simplifies installation and maintenance within I-Line panelboards and switchboards, reducing downtime and operational complexity. In everyday use you’ll appreciate the semi-transparent front cover for quick visual inspection, and the field-installable accessories that let you customize the breaker on-site without stocking multiple variants. Whether you’re upgrading an existing electrical system or specifying a new distribution panel, the JGA36150 brings reliability and compliance together in one package.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal-magnetic sensing on each pole: Ensures accurate trip response for both overloads and short circuits.
